climate journalism, news, events, content analysis, sources, media logicAbstract
The media play a decisive role in informing the public about climate change. However, research indicates that the coverage of the climate poses a challenge for news journalism. Among other things, journalism's focus on events means that the coverage is largely tied to key events, such as climate summits. This article examines whether the daily climate coverage is also event-driven, and in addition contributes with new knowledge about what characterizes event-driven and topic-driven climate journalism, respectively. Based on a quantitative content analysis of climate journalism in nationwide dailies between 2018 and 2021 (n=367), the analysis shows that topic-driven climate journalism occupies slightly more space than event-driven, and that there is a difference between the two types of journalism. Where event-driven climate journalism focuses more on politics, business and political sources, articles with people at the center and citizens as sources take up more space in topic-driven climate journalism. However, citizens are generally underrepresented in relation to elite sources. The article concludes with a discussion of the definition of event-driven journalism and recommendations for a broader climate coverage.
